Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop

Now, that looks like a cat about to pounce.

Is that the stock rear end? I ask because of all the talk about different widths for different years, and I want to remember what to expect for looks with a 71-72 rear end under the bed.

Hey nice truck. Can you tell me what size tires you are running. They look like 8" rims. Thanks

It was the most time consuming and dirtiest part of the whole thing.
You have to grind off the rivets that hold the factory shock mounts.
The way my exhaust is, it was a little hard to get to.

Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop

I was told it was a shade darker than the original color. I believe the original color is the 523 blue (but could be the 510 blue)... The previous owner is doing a little more research on it for me. But i'm sure some of the guys around here could figure it out by the pics too.

Re: Pics of the 72 with ECE 4/6 Drop

JWall, what size tires do you have all around? They look like a good proportion and I am switching over to those style wheels in the spring.

Thanks
